This thread is full of accounting service founders promoting their product, often with a discount for Bench refugees. Why are there so many of those accounting startups and how do they manage to survive in such a crowded market? Or are they also going to do a last-minute shutdown when the VC money runs out?
Just out of curiosity since this is not my field at all, what software can do something similar?
The literally verbose syntax contributes to its unpopularity as well. It is extremely hard to skim/read and comprehend prose-like Ada code.
Smart practices! Will also greatly benefit the children in the long run, I'm sure. As a non-north-american it's funny that you call it a "commune" :)
Exactly. The bespokeness they mention is opposite. When investor demand is crazy high and you can raise the largest VC rounds in human history, the argument that they can’t raise money unless they change to for profit is laughable at best. At best.
Yes, abstraction and generalization are properties you'd rather look for the second time around. Someone was already warning about this 25 years ago [1]:

You have a boring problem and hiding behind it is a much more interesting problem. So you code the more interesting problem and the one you've got is a subset of it and it falls out trivial. But of course you wrote ten times as much code as you needed to solve the problem that you actually had.

Ten times code means ten times cost; the cost of writing it, the cost of documenting it, it the cost of storing it in memory, the cost of storing it on disk, the cost of compiling it, the cost of loading it, everything you do will be ten times as expensive as it needed to be. Actually worse than that because complexity increases exponentially.

For many people, information and physical items are completely different entities. When you steal bottle of milk, the original owner loses access to it. When you copy information without permission, the original owner keeps the access to it. So they have completely different attitude to those two behaviours.

My own N=2 study: Based on a random comment in an obscure forum, I cured my specific form of reflux for 10 years with a couple of simple stretches.

I think they only address reflux due to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiatal_hernia The theme is to physically push the stomach back down into place.

The first exercise was to lay in bed, one hand over the other just below the sternum, push in and slide down slowly. Repeat 4 or 5 times. I felt my esophagus being stretched during this, which was quite an odd sensation. I did this each morning and sometimes at night.

The second exercise needed the stomach to be filled with liquid. A bowl of cereal or a lot of water does the trick. Stand on your tip toes and fall down on your heels with a loud thud ten or so times. I did this once a day.

It took about two and a half months to see results. But, I went from “These PPIs are not effective enough” to “I don’t need any pills” for ten years.

Unfortunately, over the next ten years I gained a beer belly, the reflux returned, and I think the visceral fat is getting in the way of the manual manipulation exercise because I did not feel the stretch at all last time I tried the repeat the process. Maybe I should give it another go. But, mainly I need to lose the gut.

Hi, thank you. I happened to see this post. I entered the website and registered. Everything works quickly and efficiently. I was able to produce a resume in a few minutes. It's simply amazing. Thank you!

the software gives you 3 suggestions for choosing, according to what you give it as a basis and writes everything in a professional and beautiful way.

It works really well, it's a good thing that it's a subscription because you can You can write your resume several times according to suitability for different workplaces and adjust them according to the job requirements.
Something for improvement I would suggest is for the titles to be in different colors than the writing and to organize more visually impressive beyond that I wish you all the best and good luck.

I kind of wish Java just went full Objective-C and provided native APIs to patch and redirect methods. Having everyone ship a bytecode manipulation library just to mock a method or two is quite annoying given how easy it would be for the runtime to offer this directly (and probably more performantly).
That shouldn't have to be linked. You should be able to turn off manufacturer telemetry while keeping ecall. Ecall doesn't even talk to the manufacturer. It just calls the emergency services directly.

Of course when the modem is on you can't be sure that it's not doing that but that's what we have laws for.
The proper question to ask is why is AI employed to edit articles when there's already a team of professional editors in place?

It looks a bit like the Krita right-click palette menu, which is made with a similar idea that you want to be fast while only access to a tablet stylus.
I've seen that it has controller support, which is great; it's a cheap 'shortcut enabling' device that is readily available to most people.

It would be a bit easier to have a video on the homepage that is a whirlwind tour of the program rather than the latest changelog.
Although I have a motivation to find it useful (using a stylus restricts keyboard use), I've already set up a Tartarus with Input remapper to act as custom shortcuts etc, and it seems complicated to find how it would simplify or improve my existing setup.
I doubt that, largely because nobody is really using Apple silicon for supercomputing efforts.
DECT is still extremely popular within (private) houses in Germany.

Way more robust than VoIP over Wifi.
Metal is basically equivalently powerful to CUDA, so I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at here. I mean, it's literally Apple's CUDA but for their own hardware.
Yes, but while many on Altman’s circuit pledged to donate to OpenAI, they never actually did. Musk was like the only main one.
Still super weird that Espressif is the only company that managed it to get a Wifi modem into a more or less decent microcontroller.

>Pocock’s claim is that history writing is, to some extent, political in itself.

Future historiographers might note a similar relationship between the papers of computer scientists and the economy..

In particular:

>history is the most powerful element in the construction and destruction of self-knowledge of political societies

I wish the reviewer had attended to the novel thing that Pocock had pointed out about the age-old tension between collectivism and humanism, though:

The time scale factor. (Think tech debt)

A lot of the motional subsystems in your brain are turned off when you dream so you don’t react to things as you normally would. Nightmares, etc happen when those subsystems stay on for some reason (PTSD, for example). See Chap 10 (IIRC) https://amzn.to/3DzSLva
Limits are often set for political reasons (in both directions).

There can also be very different appetites for risk.
Pretty much any object in featureless space: ships on a flat body of water (sea, lake), aircraft in the sky, objects on flat terrain (plains, taiga, desert, sand, snow), objects in space.

Even on other solar system bodies (the Moon, Mars, etc.), it's quite difficult to gauge scale and distance without terrestrial references (trees, structures, etc.) to guide the eye.
ESP32 has 18 ADC input channels. But if you are using Wifi, you can only use 8 of the 18 for ADC conversion: GPIO pins 32-39.

Other 10 pins, on which ADC2 channels are possible, can only accept pulse data if you are using Wifi.

This is probably due to firmware limitations.
early studies on the plasticizers link it to cancers, cns problems etc.

this is only from scanning the summaries on arxiv for popular plasticizers (plastic softeners, used during molding and to give plastic its desired flexibility afterwards)
I think the people working in this space are pretty good at making their ideas freely accessible. Mostly because we don't seem to assign much value to making things secure :(

It all makes sense.

Most large cities, even in the US, succeed because of good planning, specifically that doesn't require treating cars as the dominant lifeform.

I sympathize with comments on the [original] blog post, where, given that Huston already exists, and you've built a career there, and the city and community: speak, serve, reward; marginal car use (except for everyone else's car use), I understand how an incremental billion dollar freeway seems like an incremental improvement over something that doesn't let you do what a car could let you do.

It's a kind of Stockholm syndrome, "Huston syndrome" might be more appropriate,

Well, "dependently typed" is widely used to mean something like "derived from Martin-Löf type theory, including arbitrary dependent sums and dependent products"; in other words, "dependent types" means "full fat dependent types", and it's the things that are less powerful that require qualifiers.

(So when Sail says it has "lightweight dependent types", that seems fine to me (it does seem to do more than it could with simple types or polymorphic types), but if it simply asserted that it "had dependent types" I would feel misled.)

The wording is subtle and language does change, but what I want to push back on is the confusion I see from time to time that "if I can write anything that looks like a function from values to types, I have the same thing that everybody talking about dependent types has". If you think this you don't know what you're missing, or even that there is something you're missing, and what you're missing is very cool!
An explaining post on Scientific American: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-almost-everyo...
From the paper:

"Our threat model includes attackers controlling network
routers near the legitimate DNS servers. It also includes
attackers using NSA’s QUANTUMINSERT man-on-the-side
attack technique (no relation to quantum computing), which
injects fake responses to DNS queries before the real responses
arrive (see, e.g., [32]); the real responses are then ignored."

Their proposed ways to tackle these (following the above, see the paper) seem decidedly imperfect though.
But that's basically what mathematics has been from day 0. What you mention as a hive mind presumably don't refer to a situation where individual minds and intimate reflection can be put out of the equation. On the other hand, mathematics are not possible outside a society which provides a large set of conveniences to leverage on, including communication tools such as a language.
Hmmm I prefer Wikipedia's definition:

> In object-oriented programming languages, and other related fields, encapsulation refers to one of two related but distinct notions, and sometimes to the combination thereof:[5][6]

> - A language mechanism for restricting direct access to some of the object's components.[7][8]

> - A language construct that facilitates the bundling of data with the methods (or other functions) operating on those data

The hiding is absolutely the point of abstraction, in the sense that caller can manipulate the subsystem without knowing about (important) inner details of it. As I said, graphics drivers are a great example - I just want to put a triangle on the screen, I don't want to care about the registers I have to set on an NVidia card vs those on an AMD card, or what their memory maps look like, and I don't want to have to rewrite my code when they release a new generation of hardware. Drawing a triangle is an abstraction, hiding away the details of how a specific graphics card achieves that.

Think about what the word 'abstract' means - the idea of a 'human' is an abstraction for bundles of molecules conforming to a general pattern with broadly similar qualities but almost infinite variability. The word conveniently hides a wealth of detail that we usually don't need to think about; if I tell you there are three humans in a room, you can make use of that information without knowing anything about their exact physical attributes or who they are.

I would refer to what you're describing as 'modelling' - these are related topics but I don't see them as the same thing.
OPINION:

why is it incredible? we followed a bunch of lists of laws until we got ELIZA on virtual steroids ... after we cracked some milestones in hardware development.

people work towards that. money is put into that. we'd have cancer solved if the same amount of people and money flowed into the entangled fields.

next step is digital steroids (signal processing) and the physical level once again.

software-wise, the current and next generations of coders won't do anything "incredible" anymore. too few approaches on the playing field, no indie thinkers, and the capital is literally dumb.

(enforced) conformity has too many downsides that can only be balanced via variety in the wide wild; but that means cumulative competition, which was handled via sabotage ( a good analogy is doping in sports, US influence and the actually incredible cognitive & logical weakness as well as the cowardice of almost the entire rest of the world )

so I cannot agree, people give too much credit indeed.

I don't know much about accounting, but isn't shutting down an accounting service three days before the end of the year a huge slap in the face if the clients of the service, maybe even fraudulent?

An airplane is far less energy-efficient than a bird to fly, to such an extent that it is almost pathetic. Nevertheless, the airplane is a highly useful technology, despite its dismal energy efficiency. On the other hand, it would be very difficult to scale a bird-like device to transport heavy weights or hundreds of people.

I think current LLMs may scale the same way and become very powerful, even if not as energy-efficient as an animal's brain.

In practice, we humans, when we have a technology that is good enough to be generally useful, tend to adopt it as it is. We scale it to fit our needs and perfect it while retaining the original architecture.

This is what happened with cars. Once we had the thermal engine, a battery capable of starting the engine, and tires, the whole industry called it "done" and simply kept this technology despite its shortcomings. The industry invested heavily to scale and mass-produce things that work and people want.
Hmmm, we can already make self-replicating programs that are incredibly more efficient.

So the shock value of the title depends on convincing readers that LLMs are the stronger definition of "AI", instead of something more like an "iteratively try Stackoverflow answers" system.

"Environmental, and public health groups, including the Sierra Club, are urging President Joe Biden to veto a controversial bill that exempts most semiconductor companies applying for federal CHIPS Act funding from having to complete essential environmental reviews, as required by the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA."

“Exempting the semiconductor industry from NEPA is completely unwarranted, especially considering the projected significant increase use of PFAS and other toxic chemicals by the industry and their track record of releasing these dangerous chemicals into the air and water surrounding the facilities,” said Tom Fox, Senior Legislative Counsel at the Center for Environmental Health"

https://www.sierraclub.org/press-releases/2024/10/environmen...
I think that since a significant portion of Rust developers come from a C++ background, and C++ uses basically the same set of symbols, it's not a huge barrier to adoption

You are confusing too many things.

"10" is the representation of a data; "0xA" is another representation of the same data.

Not being able to touch something doesn't make it an abstraction. Light is not an abstraction, a contract is not an abstraction. 10 is not an abstraction, it is an ordinal [1].

"Isomorphism" is an abstraction. It doesn't name a particular data or value, but a class of functions that share common properties. A function template or functions written in a dynamically typed language can describe a particular group of isomorphism.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set-theoretic_definition_of_na...
I kind of agree and i find that is why (other) abstractions should be created around data not around behaviours.
